Overview Of Lorazepam

Advice For Taking It

In all instances, patients must discuss how best to take lorazepam with their doctor. They will be able to provide instructions that are best suited for the patient’s specific needs. However, there is some general advice that all patients should consider and speak to their doctor about. For instance, most patients will take lorazepam two to three times daily. They should ask about the timing of doses, though the most common is in equal intervals.

Many patients will take lorazepam with food, as doing so helps to decrease stomach upset as a side effect. Taking their medication with meals can assist in the timing of each dose as well. Of course, patients can take this medication without food if necessary. Patients who struggle to swallow pills may want to ask their doctor or pharmacist about specific lorazepam tablets. Some of them can be split or crushed so they are easier to swallow. However, this is not suitable for all lorazepam tablets, which is why patients must ask first.
